Afam:
It seems it is now fashionable for people to make sometimes ridiculous attempts to rewrite history.

Without bothering to spend time on quite a load of rubbish put down by the writer one cannot dispute the following

1. That a yoruba man was among the 5 majors that spearheaded the coup
2. That Ironsi (being the most senior in the army) took over and locked up Nzeogwu and co
3. That Gowon led a counter coup 6 months later and proceeded to call himself the commander in chief
4. That a Brigadier General of yoruba extraction (Ogundipe) was the most senior surviving person in the army who should ordinarily take over government
5. That Ojukwu refused to see Gowon (a junior Col to him) as his CIC as that would mean retirement as his junior cannot be his CIC
6. That Ojukwu and the Eastern part of the nation maintained a position that even those who went to Aburi agreed upon for about a year before the war broke out
7. That Nigeria did not restrict its fighting of the war outside Eastern part of Nigeria so I wonder why someone in his right senses will question Biafra fighting outside Eastern part of the nation unless the writer's idea of war is for you to stay in your house and continue to defend while your enemy comes in with every type of amour

Put differently, Ojukwu insisted on equity and fairness and in reality fought a war that the yorubas would have fought if Ogundipe stood his ground as the most senior army officer in the Nigerian army then and not allow a junior Col (Gowon) to take over the mantle of leadership.

So, while I am not a fan of Ojukwu I dare say that as an Igbo man I am happy for the boldness he exhibited even though his family background meant he could have lived life to the fullest and lived a comfortable life.

Let the lies stop, let people stop trying to to rewrite histories because there is always a lesson for us to learn from past mistakes.

to avoid stories that touch,

Lukuluku69:
He lived among them, what stops him from sleeping among them?

On the other hand, he can be exhumed and re-buried.

The cost should be on those that made the mistake.

Annie939:
kanu will not try it. he dare not try that nonsense because he fear a lot Buhari is patiently waiting for him fear fear mazi

StaffofOrayan:
Your point is they should keep defending the Nigeria that destroys them,
When ever they try to protest, the same army that killed Igbos are sent to kill and pacify them.

The cane use to beat Igbos, would still be used on other tribes that would demand to rule themselves, just be patient. It's coming very fast.

Randy100:
when we get it right, there will be no boko haram, fulani killers and peace will reign in Nigeria. Just have faith and dream about a great Nigeria to come. I love Naija.

Randy100:
Nonsense, we are one Nigeria only that we have a lifeless president. We will one day get it right.

Rosskiye:
The racists want you dead even quicker than the Fulanis do. Do you know that white racists poisoned the tap water in a black town, Flint Michigan, USA, leading to the death of countless innocent blacks, plus various diseases and birth defects from which they are still suffering till today?

That is just one incident from a few years ago. If you research it, there are numerous such cases in the US. Nobody has been brought to book, and these were people in GOVT who poisoned the water.

That is the sort of thing the racists do.

Has a Fulani man gone to the east to poison your water?

In fact, if Igbos get Biafra by aligning with racists, I will never set foot in Igboland, because that will be the first global experience of white annihilation/genocide against blacks in the modern era. They will poison your land and your entire population even as you smile at them like the mumu/dunce you are.

horsepower102:
Not just on that naira note but also named major international airport after him.

Rosskiye:
Air head. Did Hausa/Fulani fight or kill Igbos BEFORE the Berlin Conference of 1886?

Was it not the decision by racist Europeans to carve Africa into artificial territories which led to ethnic conflicts across Africa?

Were such conflicts unique to Nigeria?

What makes you think you can align with THOSE SAME RACISTS to undo what they did in the Berlin conference?

You think they have CHANGED THEIR MINDS about wanting Africa to be nothing but a source of raw materials for their industries?

WHY EXACTLY will they align with Igbos to undo the very same racist structures they themselves created?

If they embrace you, Mr Igbo man with no brain, it is merely to entice you, SO THEY CAN USE YOU to further entrench their colonialist dominance of your land and the continent.

Rosskiye:
LOW IQ DUNCE. I AM FULL FLEDGED IGBO, and I find you UTTERLY REPULSIVE AND DISGUSTING.

Aligning with white racists?

What do you know about the history of racism? Don't go and read, you hear? Motorpark tout. Is this not how the whites will now use you unschooled dullards to poison our entire land because they found a group DUMB ENOUGH to think the could be the white man's allies?

The mass enslavement and massacres our ancestors went through for 400 years is not enough? TUFIA.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Okay

SangoOlukosoOba:
Keep chest beating, the fact stares at you glaringly. Onitsha not, Abakaliki ni

You don't know it's the West that makes that Market, including Aba to exist.

SangoOlukosoOba:
Keep deceiving yourself.

Like you have the market there when more than half of your population is dispersed across the West.

Which buisnessman will divert his cargo to the East knowing he will have to hualage it to the West.

It's 1+1. Not difficult to phantom.

They will rather still pay higher to bring there cargos to the West

Johnsghana:
What has anyone done about politicians and their supporters besides just talk about it like you said? It is easy to talk about the symptoms and ignore the cause.

On election day, people stand and watch while hoodlums hijack ballot boxes with collaboration from members of their communities. No matter where you go to in Nigeria, this is the same story.

Stand and fight to defend your votes. Identify the collaborators and deal with them. When I was a student union activist in Uni, we fought oppression and injustice not by asking to go and start our own university. We fought corrupt school administrators intellectually and physically, even in the face of Police intimidation and harassment. And yes we got results.

You can talk from now till tomorrow, our enemies are the same across the country. Politicians will continue to win as long as we keep falling for their politics of tribal sentiments by fighting each other and not them.

Wake up! I am not your enemy!

I disagree with many of your summation here. I would have loved to respond, but I am tired of this back and forth.

Ikeg1:
True. There’s still too many Igbos that are still blind about those people.

Ikeg1:
Earlier we got a report from cables that the FG and the SW governors have come to a compromise. As usual, Afonjas rejoiced and their calls of "Southern unity" diminish as they mocked Igbos. Mind you a lot of blind Igbos stupidly supported their Amoetukun or whatever thing. Anyway, now this new article just emerge. Let me guess they will return back to "southern unity and know our common enemy" narrative bah.

One thing I do need to say is IDK when Yorubas will learn just writing things on article does not mean it'll change the narrative. Idk when they'll learn that propaganda in this day of age is as the Fulani dude stated "political primitive". Earlier, we all thought they came to a conclusion with the FG at least according to the recently released article only for this article to emerge. SMFH!!
